A Marfa home originally built in 1900 and renovated by designer Barbara Hill in 2005 is on the market for $950,000.

The home - located at 0309 N. Highland Ave. in Marfa - has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. In total, the home is 2,188 square feet with a very open-concept design layout as Hill removed the majority of the home's interior walls. The home is being sold not by Hill, but by the home's third homeowners, according to Hill.

This contemporary residence, built in 1988, in Veniceâs canal neighborhood presents itself as a happy marriage of eco-conscious features and minimalist design following a renovation by David Hertz.

The newspaper described Hill's minimalist design and particular placement of furnishings and accents as "overwhelming serenity as if everything is precisely where it should be."

As a Houston native, Hill spoke to the publication about her inspiration for the design of the home, which she planned to use as a "weekend retreat home."

"Once you get this side of San Antonio" — about a third of the way west — "the sky opens up, and the whole energy field changes and everything just seeps out of you," Hill said in her New York Times interview about the renovated home. "It's wonderful."

Hill tore down the interior walls of the home, put steel I-beams in the roof to support the structure, saved the old adobe walls by covering them with gray plaster, sanded and restained the old pine floors, among other renovations, according to the New York Times article.
